Chapter 342: Denying the Romance

Watching Kusa and Sally go out and close the lacquered mahogany door with a change of hand, Daniel was stunned for a moment before suddenly laughing.

Rhodes was found by the Damon family in a rental house in Brooklyn, these people did not alarm him, but just watched to see who he had dealings with, but unexpectedly, this person was also interesting, contacted the real estate agent, and looked at the mansions on Long Island, New York, often at the level of millions. In addition, I also went to the car dealership to see the car, and interestingly, Rhodes's favorite car turned out to be the Porsche 911.

"It seems that I am planning to enjoy it after I get the money."

Daniel muttered to himself. Kusa has been in contact with Rhodes, Daniel and Natalie's love affair scandal caused a lot of trouble, and he saw it as profitable, and later raised the price to 50 million US dollars, and the tone was tougher, and the previous negotiation was given an extra week to consider, but later it was reduced to 3 days.

"I know the truth that I want you to die while you're sick, but I can't see my position clearly."

After spying on Rod, Miller personally took someone to Brooklyn, and the security team in his hand was the most professional, credible enough, and very powerful, taking Rhodes out of his home and controlling him in a moving villa provided by the Damon family, and tortured him for 3 days, and Rod even told him about peeking at his sister taking a bath when he was 5 years old.

The results also made Miller and Los Angeles' Daniel laugh and cry.

When the crew of "Black Swan" contacted the hotel, they communicated directly with their boss, and Rod, as a staff member of the engineering department, did not know about it. He placed a candid camera device in the same room where Daniel lived, originally to get some excitement with his ex-girlfriend. The availability rate of the hotel is relatively high, and sometimes the staff will enjoy it themselves, as long as they hide it from the boss, there will basically be no problem. He set up a camera in the room, just to film their make-love. You can use it to cheer up later. It's not an uncommon thing, from Hollywood to ordinary couples, this kind of thing goes. Daniel remembers that there have been rumors of video recordings of the Latin diva Shakira and the three before and after.

As a result, when the crew of "Black Swan" was stationed, Rhodes happened to encounter his own vacation, and when he returned to work, the hotel staff were no longer allowed to enter the layer of the crew. Rhodes was in a panic for a few days, and he also heard that the crew was using electronic devices to find the equipment for candid eavesdropping, but he was lucky, and the room where he put his things happened to be unoccupied. It was not discovered. It wasn't until Daniel came to visit the class later, moved in, and had sex with Natalie after drinking, and just happened to be photographed in. When Daniel left, he looked for an opportunity to cause the hotel's power supply system to fail, and he was allowed to go in, looking for an opportunity to put away the sneak peek.

After getting his sneak gear back, he knew that Daniel was living in that room and wanted to check it out. If there is a wonderful picture, maybe you can even extort Daniel a sum of money.

Of course, the surprise was very big.

He actually saw Daniel and Natalie sleeping in the same bed inside.

It's a pity that what makes him depressed. The battery life of this equipment is not long, and a long time has passed from the time he places the equipment to the time Daniel moves in. I photographed the assistant putting two people on the bed, and the equipment happened to be powered off, and the back was already off. Shoot everything.

In his frustration, he had one of the smartest thoughts in his life.

Tricks!

Daniel would never have imagined that his device would lose power, he thought he had the full video in his hand, so what did it matter if he really had it in his hand? If Daniel asks to see the entire video before he pays, he just has to play tricks. This is also the reason why he, an ordinary engineer, has such a tough attitude when he is apprehensive about negotiating with Cusa.

It has to be said that Rhodes almost succeeded.

If he wasn't blackmailing Daniel, but an ordinary Hollywood star, even if he was blackmailing him. Delo and Mark. It's hard to catch a first-class star like Wahlberg.

But when Miller rushed in with someone and knocked him unconscious and took him out, he knew that this time he was planted.

After Miller destroyed all the backups, Daniel used his official connections to put Rhodes to prison for extortion, invasion of privacy and other crimes, and Rode, who was so frightened that he couldn't wait to plead guilty and go to prison. But the Damon family has been in prison for many years, and he will obviously continue to be re-educated.

Daniel, for his part, is really relieved.

Even if Rod still has a backup in his hand, it doesn't mean anything, at most he splashes him with dirty water, and he can use legal weapons against others in a dignified manner.

……

"Daniel and Miss Natalie, indeed good friends, have no further relationship. Previously, Miss Natalie returned to Los Angeles to rest, and Daniel invited her to lunch, and it didn't mean anything more......"

After the matter was resolved, Trick issued a statement to refute the rumors.

Meanwhile, Natalie's manager, Ms. Shelly, issued a statement of similar wording, similarly denying the rumors, saying that Natalie and Daniel's relationship is "good friends who have the same love for the acting business."

This turn of events, of course, was unexpected by everyone.

If before, the media didn't care about the "hype", because neither Daniel nor Natalie had precedent. So at this moment, "Saw 2" broke 100 million, "The Immortal Gardener" was released, and the test screening of "Walli" was well received, everyone had to believe that this time Daniel was indeed hype.

Many people in the media industry feel very wonderful.

Some people feel quite satisfied, most of Hollywood stars are using the media industry to hype their worth, movies, romances, popularity, etc., but Daniel, who seems to use the media, and the media public relations network is also extremely powerful, but it is rarely he who takes the initiative to create or use scandals, and it is generally his news that attracts the media, so that the media spontaneously reports on him and hypes him.

This time, Daniel also came to this hand for the film he had invested in, which made these media personnel feel a strange sense of satisfaction.

Oh, Daniel. Sandler is no exception!

Of course, they don't know what the inside story is, and only guess in the most likely direction. That's Daniel using them to hype up his own movie.

Judging from the results, it is true that the less optimistic "The Immortal Gardener" also won more than 2,523 screens before the Thanksgiving holiday. Of course, this good result does not come entirely from the news from Daniel's side, Rachel. Vichy is pregnant, plus her and Darren. The breakdown of the relationship between Aronowski also became an important driving factor.

Rachel's belly failed to save the relationship in the end. Break up during pregnancy though. It is indeed quite rare, and the layout given by the media is not small.

The two leading actors are so "hard" to promote the movie, and the theater chain can't give face.

Although "The Immortal Gardener" can be said to be a big failure in Venice, the official release version is quite different from the theatrical version. But it didn't stop the post-work, so after the old Draco joined, another version was cut.

This edition was held at the time of the preview screening. The word of mouth is quite good.

won 21.48 million yuan in three days in the first weekend, although it cannot be compared with "Saw 2", but this number is already a big surprise, "Gardener" in general. is still an award-winning film, which is why the loss in Venice will have such a big impact.

The pioneering work of DD Animation, Anston. Wall-E, directed by Stanton. The first media preview was held in this scandal. Daniel himself flew back from the set in the Caribbean to attend, and, on the cusp of the limelight. Natalie, who happened to be filming in New York, also attended the preview screening of "Wall-E" and cheered for Daniel.

The media attracted can be said to be quite a lot.

The word-of-mouth of "Wall-E" is amazing.

"The mere fact that a studio in the mainstream entertainment industry dares to create an offbeat, bold film like 'Robot Story' can give us hope for humanity." -- The Washington Post

"The success of Robot Story comes from three things: it's a thrilling animated film, a stunning visual work of art, or a serious sci-fi movie." -- Chicago Sun-Times.

"In the first 40 minutes of the film, there is hardly any dialogue, and no human characters appear, but it has already made a poem full of beauty and wisdom, and the deep meaning is worth our time and heart." -- The New York Times.

"It's a beautiful movie." - The Miami Herald.

"A charming and funny love story of a robot, perfect for the whole family to watch together." -- The New York Post.

"The film shows an interesting and fantastical future." - USA Today

Almost all the mainstream media gave the cartoon a positive review, and many people exalted its appearance to the level of having an impact on the entire animation and film industry.

Andrew. Once again, Stanton's genius was proven.

These various interests are quite exciting for DD Pictures and its MGM Pictures.

This gives everyone reason to believe that why Daniel. Sandler will make an exception. For him, the pressure on MGM and DD Pictures is so great that all the resources that can be used will be used to promote the confidence of these two companies. Public opinion believes that he succeeded, the previous "Hangover", plus "Saw 2", and now not only will not lose, but will also have a considerable income "The Immortal Gardener", plus "Wall-E", which is favored by almost everyone and will wreak havoc on the Christmas schedule, DD Pictures can be said to have handed over a quite impressive report card this year, and the important thing is that it has kept Daniel's golden signboard.

Considering that next year, "The Hangover 2" may not be in time, but with one-third of the rights and interests of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", the golden hen of "Chainsaw 3" will continue to lay eggs, in addition to being with Reese. Witherspoon's "Unstoppable", DD Animation's "Happy Feet" - these are DD Pictures' plans that have been made public, and MGM Pictures also has several works that will be released next year, and the two together should have more than ten major works, excluding some purchased small-budget films, some films distributed on behalf of others, which is indeed a seven-level production.

It can be said that the achievements of DD Pictures this year have laid a solid foundation for next year.

……

"Do you know how angry Shelly is? I doubt she'll see you next time. Definitely going to beat you up. Natalie picked up her lime water and looked at Daniel with a smile, and from her expression, it was impossible to see her specific thoughts.

After Rod's affairs were dealt with, Daniel also clarified the situation with them.

There weren't any more videos, just the "foreplay" that wasn't useful and had been cleaned up.

After a great sigh of relief, the problem to be solved emerged.

This scandal that was originally intended to be confirmed, how to deal with it now?

Shelly didn't say it explicitly, but it got to this point. The almost acquiescing attitude of the two parties has basically confirmed the relationship, of course, it is as usual, and it will be publicly announced after a delay. Moreover, as Natalie's mother, she is still a little angry at Daniel's behavior of eating dry and wiping, even though everyone is an adult and is not small, this kind of thing is nothing. Not to mention "responsible" and the like, and no human life was caused. In her opinion, she also thinks that Daniel and Natalie are very suitable, in any way. Daniel's son-in-law is hard to find with a lantern.

It's just that she can't say it directly, otherwise wouldn't it be clear that Natalie took the initiative.

But what she didn't expect was that Daniel and Natalie had no intention of uniting, at least that's what they had stated. What exactly Natalie had in mind, Daniel couldn't see or care. Now that the crisis has been lifted, refuting rumors is the most appropriate measure.

So. Natalie said that Shelly was very angry, which is quite an atmospheric statement, after all, Shelly is very neat and neat when communicating, with a meaning of "we think the same way, we won't be taken advantage of by you".

Hearing Natalie say this, Daniel laughed and looked sideways at the paparazzi outside.

After they refuted the rumors, it became more and more natural to drink coffee together, and there was no need to cover up.

"Benjamin is still chasing after him?"

Natalie also had a sad face, and her affair with Daniel not only did not make Benjamin. Mipaide retreated when he heard the wind, but instead made him change his previous subtle style and become bold and proactive. Daniel estimated his intentions, and should have considered that Natalie might accept him because she wanted to deal with the affair with Daniel once and for all.

Looking at Natalie's expression, Daniel estimated that Benjamin really had a chance of succeeding. A woman like Natalie, if she doesn't mean anything, probably won't show a worried expression, either disgust or cold ignorance. Before that, Natalie had completely ignored Benjamin.

It seems that this marriage is also destined, and it can't be avoided.

"I have no choice but to wait until the end of this movie."

"He's still good."

Natalie glared at him, "What? Not only are you not going to accept me, you're going to sell me out? ”

"If someone else hears this, they won't believe it's you."

After talking to Natalie, Daniel felt more and more comfortable, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Natalie was not at all as good as being friends with her, this was definitely a friend who would make people feel comfortable, smart, empathetic, humorous, knowledgeable, not boring, and not worried too much.

"Forget it, don't talk about him, you came back this time to deal with the MPAA problem?"

Daniel nodded, "That's a headache, where did you hear that?" ”

"Harvey, he said it."

Natalie deserves to be Harvey of Weinstein Films. Weinstein, after leaving Millaemax, the brothers turned around and started a film company named after themselves, a custom that was always the case, with Miramax named after their parents. They are certainly well aware of the news in the industry.

However, Natalie and Harvey talk about it, but it's a bit of a surprise. It can only be said that Natalie's influence on the Jewish community in Hollywood may be even deeper than he imagined.

That's not bad news. (To be continued......)
